Registration Process Changes
Please make your checks payable to West Metro Senior Softball. This is a change from previous years!
This Link will open up the Registration Form and a new Waiver and Release Agreement. The waiver is something required by nearly all softball leagues and that we’ve been thinking of adding for some time. We’ll need a signed copy of this agreement in-hand before you take the field for the upcoming season. Please include it with your registration and payment.
